Alphabet (Hardcover, Pod Version ed.)

In late 2011, photographer Douglas Holleley mounted an alphabet of wooden letters on a plywood base and placed it in the backyard of his home in Rochester, NY. His hypothesis was simple; to investigate the behavior of snow as it accumulated on a low-relief, three-dimensional object-in this case, as mentioned before, an alphabet of wooden letters. As the year progressed, Holleley continued to photograph through Spring, Summer and Autumn finishing around Christmas 2012. As such, in addition to the effects of the rain, snow and ice the alphabet is also graced with seeds, flowers, leaves and other traces of the seasons. Thus the book expanded from its original concept. What began as a simple observation of snow falling on a surface transformed into a gentle, and at times poignant, meditation on the nature of time and change.
